About This Event
South Tyneside Sings: Doorstep Carols takes place at The Word in South Shields on Wednesday 16 December 2026 from 6pm to 6:45pm. The event is part of the national Doorstep Carols initiative, which encourages communities to gather and sing well-loved carols together in the run-up to Christmas. The free, all-ages singalong needs no musical experience and no booking: everyone is welcome simply to turn up and join in with the familiar festive favourites. It is a warm, communal way to mark the season in the heart of the town. The event is free and no booking is required. The Word is in the Market Place in central South Shields; wrap up warm for the occasion.
